First time in two years we have won 3 PL games in a row. Get in! P.S My sympathies go out to MFG, he must have hated today's result.
Four wins in a row if we add the Zenit game into the equation... Certainly looking better for us. In recent years, we haven't got into the habit of winning games after going behind so that's another positive.
Any surprise... when Downing plays well we win. When he has an off day we lose or draw. He really is Talismanic.
Which is why he should be a contender for player of the season. **** me, just seen that United are now at 2-2!
Our next 4 games - Southampton away, Villa away, West Ham home, Reading away. Bound to **** up one of them but I'd take 9 points out of that and really push on for 5th place.
I think we could climb Arse with a little luck. 4th is out of range and 5th unlikely but I think we will definately get closer to 5th before seasons end. Come on lady luck... let's get arse beneath us.
Only 2 points behind Arsenal although they have a game in hand but next week are away to Swansea where they seem to struggle so come next Sunday we could easily be above them.
good game today, 4 of the goals were dreadful defending, one was pure joy... that coutinho boy is a guy with amazing potential for when he get fit. Dissappointed with glen Johnson today big time. very weird game from him.. trying 40 yard passes etc. I'm glad we made the sub and know ok coutinho isn't fully fit but at least it was the right tactical substitution. we were over run in the middle and going to 3 in there worked, pressing alsow works as evidence by us getting that break off walker. oh and ref was a prick.
The handball was one of two things I couldn't believe. Vertongen or however the **** you spell it was last man, stopped an obvious goal, and got a yellow card. And obviously Bale's "Lucas touched my shoulder, better grab my face and fall to the ground" free kick that resulted in a goal. Horrible mistakes on the ref's part. But we got the win, so no use complaining (not that there is anyways...) My pet peeve is the American commentators saying a foul was 'soft.' Call it like it is. It was either a ****ing dive or embellishment. Bale was the architect in both goals. He put in a nice cross and dove. So much architecture. -___-
